Tesla might want to reconsider shunning that idea after they see this kickass Prius pickup conversion.

Reader venivelovici spotted this thing running around Ventura County, CA a couple days ago. Doesn't look like the cleanest conversion per se, but you've gotta admire the innovative spirt of whoever took a Sawzall to this hybrid. Off all the Prius owners in California, this is the one I want to meet most.

Will Toyota will take notice and run with this? No, probably not. But we can dream.

If anybody knows where to find the builder, please let us know so we can issue them an official Truck Yeah! high-five.

Hat tip to venivelovici!
